AN NBA PLAYER PLAYED BASKETBALL IN OUR AREA TODAY. 40/29'S MITCH ROBERTS TELLS US WHY. IT'S NEW TONIGHT. NBA PLAYERS MAKE MILLIONS... WHEN THEY PLAY THE GAME THEY LOVE. BUT SOMETIMES, THEY GIVE BACK A LITTLE... AND MAKE A 'KID'' FEEL LIKE A MILLION BUCKS. THAT WAS CERTAINLY THE CASE TODAY FOR ONE YOUNG MAN... IN ELKINS. In many ways, Alex Smith is just like any other 13-year old boy. He loves the Hogs and the NBA. But Alex has Stage Four Brain Cancer. His dream was to meet Chicago Bulls guard Ronnie Brewer. Today, 40/29 was there when that dream came true. Ronnie was in Elkins to play a pick-up game, designed to 'pick-up'' the spirits of a great young man. 'How does it feel to know that everybody here supports you? Well, I got a lot of fans and all that.'' The gym was packed! It seemed the entire community wanted to see this 'Make-a-Wish'' come true. Alex scored a bucket and got an assist from Ronnie. Alex recently had a stroke, lost the use of his left arm, and his eyesight is fading fast. But today, Alex actually saw his dream come true. 'I didn't know he would play. He played and got a lay-up and it was an assist by me.'' Alex is already in Hospice Care. Brain Cancer is a tough opponent. But today, Alex Smith had his hero fighting with him. It was a beautiful thing to see. 'The school is trying to make the time he's got left good. It's been real emotional. Nice of him to take the time out of his day to do so.'' ALEX IS BEING RAISED BY HIS GRANDPARENTS. TERRY STOUT IS THE GENTLEMAN YOU JUST SAW AT THE END OF THE STORY. MR. STOUT TOLD US THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, THE CHURCH, THE SCHOOL, AND ALL THE KIDS IN TOWN... ARE ROOTING FOR ALEX. IT'S GREAT TO SEE ALEX HAVING A GOOD TIME. IN NEWS FROM AROUND THE WORLD,
